Hi everyone! I hope you have all enjoyed this beautiful day! Here is a look
ahead at this week...
Math:
In math this week, students will tactilly identify 3-D shapes, go on a 3-D
shape scavenger hunt, explore the characteristics of a dime, and conduct a
survey, collect data, and graph the results. On Friday, students will engage
in Everyday Math Games to revisit previously taught math skills and concepts.
Phonics:
Phoneme/Grapheme: /o/, "o"
Sight Words: Review six, seven, eight, nine, ten
Language Arts Centers:
Students will read and illustrate CVC words that contain the /o/ sound,
practice "o" handwriting, complete a puzzle of the 7 continents, work
with /o/, /a/, /e/ word families, read from their Browsing Boxes, and
complete a self-portrait for their February portfolio. Students will meet
with me for Guided Reading sessions, and an introduction to using the I-
pads. We currently have 5, and are waiting for the child-friendly cases to
be delivered. I will be purchasing 1 more I-pad in March for the classroom.
I Pad surveys will be sent home tomorrow. Please complete and return them as
soon as you can.
Science:
We will be wrapping up our "Me On A Map" unit this week. Students will learn
a song to help them remember the major Oceans, and will complete a summative
assessment for the unit.
We will also attend a presentation by vetrinarian Stewart Colby. Dr. Colby
is a SRS parent, and will be talking to the students about proper petcare,
living things, and parent/offspring. Dr. Colby will be bringing various
animals in for your child to see. Please let me know if you have any
questions or concerns.
Writing:
Students will continue writing stories for our Author's Celebration. Most
students are on their second story. They will be allowed to choose which
story they would like to share at the Celebration.
Media Center:
Remember, our class visits the Media Center every Wednesday. Please return
your child's books so they will be able to check out new ones.
